Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe... This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself by the word as a whole.

spelling mistake in msn page

Have a look at the spelling mistake in MSN Chat's news teaser window. Can you expect a spelling mistake like this from one of the best site in the world. OK, you can ask me whats wrong, I can read this.

Can you do mistakes in our blogs


Yes, ofcourse not. I don't think blogger need to do a mistake while writing blogs on spellings. Blogger or Typepad or Wordpress has spell checker. Errors as we have in above screenshot is very rare. If you find any spelling mistake in this blog post - kindly apologise :p

It is because, humans don't even read the word as whole, but they just recognize the shape of invisible outline that the word makes. Humans are very good at pattern recognition due to its roots in the animal [limbic] brain. The fight or flight decisions were mostly based on the shapes were of predators or not.
